Agreed. A terrorist organization hiding among the people. Now you’ve exposed most of their leadership that had these devices. With Minimal civilian casualties. The Iran ambassador even had one! |
This was an absolutely remarkable operation by Israel. Mossad must have somehow infiltrated Hezbollah's supply of pagers. Apparently they were all delivered this week. Hezbollah obviously can't use cell phones, so they use pagers. It looks like 2700 pagers blew up all at the same time. About 250 Hezbollah operatives in critical condition. And the strike debilitates Hezbollah's abilities to conduct any operations for the foreseeable future.
Clearly, being allies of Iran isn't working out too well for Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis. And Iran itself remains too cowardly to even try to retaliate after Israel blew up the leader of Hamas in Tehran itself. I can sense regional alliances shifting. |
When Oct 7 happened, I remember a pro-Palestinian supporter explaining that the events were justified because Palestinians had been oppressed so long and so brutally by Israel. And that kind of made sense to me. Like, being oppressed to that degree could actually traumatize a person and alter their brain, where they actually thought murdering Israelis was justified.
And now, I think the same thing is happening to Israelis. I think Oct 7 was so horrific for them that they have just snapped. They’ve sort of lost their minds. And I can understand why. You can’t unsee the horror of Oct 7. I feel like Israel just doesn’t give a f—k anymore. And who suffers the most? Civilians, including CHILDREN. That region is in real trouble. All that said, man, IDF has some balls to pull something like this off. Dang! |
No. Your spidey senses are incorrect. The world is slow walking to WWIII, hoping the US will over extend themselves. Iran is patiently waiting for the signal. North Korea, Iran, China, Brazil, Russia, India all vying for their respective positions in a new world order post US supremacy. I do not believe Iran won't retaliate. I believe they are waiting for the opportune moment, when US forces are scuttled away from the Red Sea to deal with other more pertinent challenges to America's interests than protecting their pet project over there. The new world order is coming. The clear vying for power is happening across the globe - even within the US. The world is not a safe place. |
In your warped mind, I assume, Israel is free to disregard the "ceasefire" at their leisure? What about when Israel sends warplanes into Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and elsewhere, violating international airspace, and bombing man, woman and child? Does Israel reserve the right to treat "ceasefires" as optional in those cases, too? |
(DP). Yes, I think after the horror of October 7, Israel is going to treat ceasefires as optional. Israel is going to do what Israel wants to do. I think they’re ready to go down with the ship. |
So what’s next? Are the Zionists going to blow up the computers and cell phones of any Americans that criticize Israel? They already try to get all their critics cancelled. |
Absolutely brilliant. DP |
Because it targeted terrorists?? JFC. |
What about before 10/7/2023? Israel has been doing whatever TF they have wanted to do, regardless of "ceasefire" status, since inception. Did someone in Israel unravel the mysteries of space time, build a time machine, and travel back to the 1920s and authorize Zionists to initiate hostilities whether or not a "ceasefire" existed? tl/dr: GTFOH with this Israel is "the good guys" malarkey. |
Outside of China those other countries can’t project power beyond a neighboring country. Even China is still limited on how far they can project power. And I highly doubt Brazil is on an expansionist mission or has any dream of becoming a power in the Americas. See demographics as well on some of these countries. Russia is already on the edge is a huge demographic decline. |
Not at all. Israel’s attacks on Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are clearly “acts of war”. To the extent such attacks harm civilians, they may be war crimes (depending on the facts of each case). I’m evenhandedly applying exactly the same principles and standards (basic international law) to every party involved. You, otoh, are motivated solely by hatred for one party. This renders you incapable of applying any objective standard or adopting a principled position. So…who exactly is “warped”? |
PP here. I don’t think many people consider Israel the “good guys” anymore. I just meant that especially since 10/6, Israel has truly run out of f—ks to give. They’re going to do whatever they want, even if it means destroying their country and wreaking havoc in the region. These days, they don’t seem that different than Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. At least that’s how I see it. |
Because you don't see the difference between terrorists and a sovereign nation trying to eliminate threats against it. It is inconvenient that those threats are actual people but there you are. |
What a smart move Israel. Now, you get to bomb the hospitals in Lebanon as the fighters are recovering there. You bomb the fighters and then send them to hospitals, so now you get to bomb hospitals again in yet another neighboring country because Hezbollah fighters are "hiding there" and "are legitimate military targets".
Christ, you people NEED Jesus (says a guy who hasn't thought about religion in several decades). |
